Aviation, Optimised. ACLs experience in the management of airport capacity, plus its knowledge and expertise in the development of coordination technologies, places it in a unique and unrivalled position in the industry. Making best use of capacity to meet demand and deliver desired levels of service requires accurate modelling of each component of airport infrastructure. By working collaboratively with all stakeholders, ACL has been able to innovate and deploy modules for Parking, Check-In, Security and Gates. It is this approach that means despite coordinating some of the world s most congested and constrained airports, ACL coordinated airports continue to see year on year growth. RUNWAYS TERMINALS BAGGAGE Fixed or rolling hour limits, profiled constraints and sub-constraints tailored to the airfield layout and operation, optimised to deliver a smooth flow of traffic and minimise emissions and delays Passenger throughput modelling optimised for the various pinch points of the terminal process (check-in, security, immigration, etc), to ensure desired levels of service and avoid queuing and congestion Modelling based on passenger reporting profiles, aircraft size and the number of ULD preparation areas required. Profiles set to reflect the actual operation of each carrier allowing for more accurate modelling greater certainty and increased utilisation. SECURITY PARKING CHECK-IN Fixed and rolling hourly constraints to reflect the actual processing rates experienced and the human resources available. Profiled constraints can reflect the availability of resources at different periods of operation. Allows airports to better manage manpower effectively thus reducing costs. Sophisticated apron capacity modelling with GANTT-style graphics, capable of handling complex layouts (nonstandard sizes, MARS stands, adjacency rules), towing, buffer times, airline preferences and automatic flight linking Models check in facilities by number of desks required taking into account reporting profiles and transaction times. Results provide a greater granularity of data which improves optimisation of terminal facilities allowing for common and dedicated utilisation of desks Page 4
